Take Drivers Education in Florida

A) Enroll in a State-Approved Drivers Ed Course

Look online for a drivers ed course. The state also refers to this as Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education. If you’ve never held a regular drivers license in any state, country or jurisdiction, there’s no way around it. In a state-approved drivers education course you will learn:

Florida traffic laws

FL road signs

Safe-driving practices and more

B) Complete Drivers Education

You must complete Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (drivers education) before taking the written exam and applying for a temporary Florida driving permit (restricted driver license). This applies to teen drivers between 15 to 17 years old.

After completing the course, first-time drivers who are under 18 years old are eligible to take an online driver license test to meet the state permit requirements. American Safety Council is the only provider approved by the FL DHSMV to administer these online exams. For more, check out the next step on obtaining your first restricted driver's permit.
